Foreword By The Editor
In this article the author, Joachim Rodriguez, advocates three complementary programs designed to work with, and enhance, the Twitter social networking service. Well worth noting by anyone who uses Twitter to follow others as well as to relate to their own followers. Joachim’s brief bio appears as the last paragraph.

What Is Twitter?

- Image via Wikipedia
Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last couple of months you will almost certainly have heard of Twitter. It’s a social messaging and ‘micro-blogging’ system that enables you to stay linked to your followers in real time.
Twitter has bridged the gap between instant messaging and blogging quite nicely but what is even more astonishing is how rapidly it is expanding and how addicted people get by using it. This is a real plus for business people and Internet marketers.
Not only can you keep in touch with family and friends, but you can also make new ties with people who share the same or similar interests, whether they are hobbies or business targets.
Setting Up Twitter
One of the most brilliant things about Twitter is how easy it is to sign up. Setting up a basic account takes a mere couple of minutes. Also there are a lot of third party programs out there that can automate many tasks as well as get you more followers than you would ever think was possible on your own.
In this article we will take a closer look at three of these third party applications which can make life for a ‘tweeter’ much easier. I call them the three essential twitter apps because, to me, they are the best twitter tools out there.
Twellow
This is one of the best twitter tools as it is a brilliant new search tool and directory for discovering Twitter users (Tweeple) that could radically alter the way people harness the micro-blogging service. Twellow has indexed more than 8,100,000 users and sorted them into categories like programming, marketing, graphic design, and dozens of others to help you find users who list those characteristics in their Twitter biographies. Beyond directory browsing, you can enter in specific search terms to find people listing certain interests. Twellow allows you to be proactive about finding new and interesting people to follow, and does a great job of presenting the results.
SocialOomph
Formerly known as Tweetlater, this is one of the better twitter tools since it is the most complete set of productivity tools for busy Tweeple. They can automatically follow twitter users who follow them, as well as select the option to auto-update their status welcoming new followers. They can also schedule tweets if they do not wish to tweet them right away. Tweeple can even track keywords of interest and have them emailed to them at regular intervals.
Another great feature of SocialOomph is the RSS Feed which Tweeple can use to display their tweets on their blogs. One can even choose to have tweets shown up only on the RSS feed and not on their twitter account!
TwitPwr
A short URL service with analytics for Twitter. Twitpwr is one of the best twitter tools as it helps its users to get more Twitter followers, and helps site owners generate more traffic and valuable backlinks to their websites. So one can say, Twitpwr is a much more sophisticated form of TinyURL. With TwitPwr the amount of clicks is tracked that one drives via the Twitter API. Consequently, the user is given a Power Rating. The higher the Power Rating one has, the more TwitPwr users will find the user’s profile, follow him/her on Twitter and visit his/her links. These are the key reasons why TwitPwr has grown so much and its Alexa ranking is less than 15,000 and still rising at a rapid pace.
Conclusion
These 3 applications and web services are the best twitter tools and the most powerful programs to build up and maintain an immense twitter followership in my opinion. Of course, there are many more services out there on the web that deserve to be listed here but mentioning all of them would not be possible.
